Se presenta la lista actualizada de los mamíferos del Parque Nacional El Chico con base en el trabajo de campo realizado entre los años 2004 y 2006. Se identificaron 30 especies, 13 de ellas se registran por primera vez en el parque: Glaucomys volans, Peromyscus melanotis, Reithrodontomys megalotis, R. sumichrasti, Spilogale gracilis, Cryptotis mexicana, Sorex saussurei, Dermanura azteca, Corynorhinus towsendii, Eptesicus fuscus, Lasiurus cinereus, Myotis californicus y M. velifer. El orden mejor representado, con 10 especies (33.33 %) fue Rodentia, seguido por Carnivora con ocho especies (26.67 %). El 16.67 % de las especies están consideradas en estado de conservación delicado (C. mexicana, S. saussurei, Sciurus oculatus, G. volans y Corynorhinus mexicanus). Localmente las amenazas para la mastofauna son consecuencia de los asentamientos humanos y el turismo descontrolado. El Chico es importante para la conservación y manejo de los mamíferos de Hidalgo, porque en el habita el 23.8 % de la mastofauna estatal, no obstante su reducida extensión territorial (2,739 ha).

One hundred and sixty-nine bats belonging to 6 different species and collected from 4 ecological zones (aspen parkland, boreal forest, grassland, and montane) in Alberta, Canada, during 1988 and 1989 were examined for helminths. Forty bats were infected with the stomach nematode Longibucca lasiura McIntosh and Chitwood, 1934. Sample size, prevalence, and mean intensity (with range in parentheses) of L. lasiura for the 6 species of bat were as follows: Myotis lucifugus, N = 130, 27%, 39 (1–121); Myotis ciliolabrum, N = 10, 10%, 1; Eptesicus fuscus, N = 6, 33%, 12 (2–22); Lasionycteris noctivagans, N = 2, 100%, 22 (5–39). Myotis evotis (N = 9) and Lasiurus cinereus (N = 3) were not infected. Longibucca lasiura was found in bats from all ecological zones except the boreal forest. This parasite was found in bats active during summer (June to August) and in hibernating M. lucifugus collected in September and April.

Eighty-two bats comprising the genera Eptesicus, Lasionycteris, Lasiurus, Myotis, and Plecotus collected in British Columbia were examined for the presence of gastrointestinal parasites. Helminths from 24 specimens of Eptesicus fuscus, 11 of Lasionycteris noctivagans, 1 of Lasiurus cinereus, 7 of Myotis californicus, 31 of M. lucifugus, and 3 of M. volans longicrus are listed. Some aspects of the parasitism encountered are discussed.

We used radio tracking and direct observation to determine the effect of roost closure on the roosting and foraging behaviour of big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) in maternity colonies near Ottawa. Individuals were site loyal, but after eviction they moved short distances to new roosts where they tended to produce fewer offspring. The time spent on the first foraging flight, the maximum distance travelled, and the use of feeding areas did not change with exclusion. The results suggest that bats roost to take advantage of site-specific factors that may increase reproductive success.
